Parkour - post 112

Just to be clear:
<--- this stuff is Parkour done by someone really good at it.

<--- this is NOT the stuff we were doing Wednesday night.

<--- this looks pretty cool.  What we did looked kind of like a juvenile deer / antelope attempting to stand for the 1st time.

 <--- this is the aspirational goal, someday. 



so, as it turns out, Parkour is actually a pretty legitimate workout.  you do tons of shit that your body generally doesn't do - so you're working muscles and groups that are long neglected.  hell, even the "warm up" had me sweating pretty solidly.  damned happy i didn't do my pushups today - i never would have made it.  never never never.

now i just kind of want to run around jumping onto and off of things.  it seems like a good idea and funzies.

for those that don't know what Parkour / FreeRunning is - it's a system of movement to overcome obstacles and move from one place to another in the fastest, most efficient way possible.  (FreeRunning emphasizes personal style and "pretty" moves along the way).  look it up on the intertoobs.  there's lots of cool stuff.
